Frank D. Rich

We were fortunate to become acquainted with Frank and Jean at Ocean Isles in Florida. We had heard some facts about Frank's involvement in Stamford from time to time, but it became obvious after reading the account in the Advocate, that we knew little about his life, career, and philantropic endeavors. What a wonderful life and contributor he was to society, and how humble he was.
Frank and Jean are very special individuals and we are going to miss seeing and talking to Frank.
We send...

Our condolences to Mrs. Jean Rich and to our dear friends, Chuck and Eileen Rich and family on the passing of Mr. Rich... Our prayers are with you all.

We only new of Mr. Rich from his works of God, his contribution to the development of Stamford as a corporate business for Fairfield County and the State of Connecticut. I never met him personally but I do believe I did once invite him to speak before the Kiwanis Club of Stamford when I was a chair of their Public Relations Committee. I grieve at his loss. His legacies are for all to see for now and far, far into the future. I thank him for being and on behalf of all the young seeking...

Dear Mrs. Rich and Family:
We were so saddened to hear of Mr. Rich's passing. His presence will be missed here at Ocean Isles. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of sorrow.
Our deepest sympathy,

My sympathies and condolences to the family of Frank Rich. I first met him when he began transforming Stamford and creating the Stamford Center for the Arts. His vision and passion for Stamford drove the town to what it is today. Not only a visionary, he had the ability to create with concrete and steel, and with the arts, a successful reality. So many communities and businesses have followed the trail he blazed. We have lost a great man.

Poppa,
You will always be remembered for your kindness and generosity. We will always love you. You are in my thoughts.
Love,
Your granddaughter Kristin

Among his seemingly limitless achievements, Frank D. Rich, was a trustee and past-chairman of The Ferguson Library and the Ferguson Library Foundation. His leadership and wisdom became his hallmark during his term on Ferguson’s governing board. Whether it be the building of our buildings or the building of our collections, time and time again Frank would blend his ideas and concerns for Ferguson with the objective of what could realistically be achieved.

We had the honor and privilege...

Mrs. Rich and Family,
Thursday, I decided to go on my computer and read the advocate news. As I went into the obituary section and began reading, I realized that I know this family. My heart was sadden. I don't know if you remember me; I hope you will! I'm Mattie(Green), your live-in babysitter over forty years ago. I remember your lovely home in Darien, and your wonderful family. Susan and I played many times at the school and I was playful with all of your children. Mr.& Mrs. Rich...
